Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
This is a great family movie and I really recommend it if you don’t know what to watch with your children. The movie is funny but also rather sentimental; it is about parental love, but also about man’s happiness. We saw Larry Daily becoming a night guard at a …

Cube Zero
Starring:
Zachary Bennett (Erin Wynn), David Huband (Dodd), Stephanie Moore (Cassandra Rains), Michael Riley (Jax)
Watching this show alternately petrified and fascinated me. Imagine seeing your skin flaking off while you are still conscious; or having your hands, legs and everything being sliced off by razor-sharp wires?
Wynn and Dodd were technicians, …
Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …

Wild Target 2010 movie
Failure of a hitman is not a situation that you could assess it as “funny.” However, it is perfectly possible in Wild Target, applying the opus of the typology “ordinary people put in extreme situations.”
Three main and unusual characters appear in this movie, a hitman who takes care of …
Days of Darkness
Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …
Lake Placid movie
I can rememebr when the movie “Lake PLacid” was released in 1999, it seemed to gain a lot of attention from my peers; but since I didn’t see it advertising to be released in theatres I wasn’t yearning to watch it as much as some of my friends were. …

The 400 Blows (1959 Classic Film)
I have recently been introduced in world cinema with this Francois Truffaut film, and to my surprise, I seriously love this masterful class of work. At first, it seems like just a typical film that I keep on ignoring every time my television plays some black and white film, …
Dragnet
When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …

Mulholland Falls
OK, maybe it’s because I’m not a huge Nick Nolte fan but I just can’t seem to get the movie Mulholland Falls. When it first came out, it looked entertaining. I like thrillers that make me think and thought this film would fit that category. And, having some A-list …
Jack Black
OK, I know I should like Jack Black. But, I just can�t seem to find any respect for him.
The problem I have is he�s one dimensional. He can�t do drama or action. It has to be comedy. Even when he tries to be serious, you can�t help but think …
Upright Citizens Brigade The Complete First Season DVD
Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …

Wild hogs
Whoever decided to cast a “buddy” movie with Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence & William H Macy as the co-starring friends was truely inspired. Sometimes when you have too much talent it can backfire, but these four pulled it off really well.
Scrubs John McGinley has a …
Movie Bruno
This movie was hilarious, definitely a must see! Sacha Baron Cohen from Borat is back as Bruno for yet another epic comedy! Many people are completely against it, but what can you expect with a movie about a homosexual fashion oriented male? Many oppose it just on the basis …

The Goonies (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …
